Ghost Story (1974) (R2) in November

Nucleus Films have announced the UK DVD release of Ghost Story on 9th November 2009. This 1974 British chiller from director Stephen Weeks is set in 1930’s England where it tells of three former public schoolmates, Larry Dann (The Bill), Murray Melvin (The Devils) and Vivian Mackerrell (the inspiration for Bruce Robinson' s creation 'Withnail', seen here in his only major screen role), who reunite in a country mansion haunted by the spirit of insane former resident Marianne Faithfull (Girl On A Motorcycle). The haunting transports them to a surreal world of demonic dolls, sadistic doctors, incest and murder.
